Try to be as unbiased as possible. Please start with me.

I would lose the primary, maybe by at least 5-6% nationally in a 1 v 1 contest.

I would probably lose the Electoral College but win the popular vote.

Maybe some other states too...

I'd trounce him in a Democratic primary 1v1, but we would both do terribly in a normal field due to my pro-life stance and his other stances.

I'd probably win quite handily due to lefty activist types staying home or voting 3rd party in large numbers

I'd lose the primary to him since he'd get Trump's backing and I'm to the left of him on other issues. If I ran as a Dem though (since I'm technically an indie) and somehow won the nomination (likely as a spoiler through a crowded primary field), it would be extremely competitive and probably come down to Michigan.

He would win in a landslide (given polarization)
Not only would my abortion stances alienate the left, but his economic populism would connect with a lot (even though I would be promoting similar policies) with the support of right wing propaganda operations he would steamroll me. We both occupy the same “fis-lib” “socon” sphere, so it would (like most races) be a battle of identities.
My base would be well off suburbanites, East Asians, and the educated, his would be rural voters and the working class, he would get ridiculous swings with black and Hispanic working class voters btw.
While I do believe I would be a far better candidate in general than Atlas thinks (yes I’m biased) Christian Man is literally one of the best candidates for this current environment. He flips GA, NV, AZ, MI, ME (!), WI, and PA.

Even though we agree on a lot, since I'm quite a bit more populist (BG-NY is probably the only poster more populist than me) I would probably win most swing voters in the rust belt and therefore the election, assuming I'm running as a democrat since you're a Republican.

I am way more ideologically consistent than they are, and would have an easier time getting the bulk of the party to support me. I win the Biden states+NC

I just made a Democratic primary map.



Ferguson wins Florida by default by virtue of me refusing to be on the ballot, because I would rather lose the primary than win with Florida. Although Florida is basically the South's Jersey, so I'd give him a decent chance there anyway.

It's a race to see who upsets their own "base" the most, assuming we run as D and R, respectively. I could easily see a 269-269 EC split.

A left-winger and a centrist who disavows Trump(ism), January 6, COVID19 idiocy/conspiracy theory and climate change denial.

Hammy wins comfortably, since enough right-wing/far-right lunatics stay home or vote 3rd party and Hammy captures the left-wing base (which has decent turnout).

I would win as he’d spend the entire time campaigning in his home state of Massachusetts, thinking he’d lose it. That or he’d drop out two months before the election because he would have looked at one outlier and would have given up.

I'd lose comfortably. Polarization and the D next to my name might keep me above 200 EVs. Might.

I would do quite well, as I believe my views, which while not reflective of either main party's platform, are quite popular with the general American populace.

Assuming a two-man race with no Democrat on the ballot:



Pieman (I) - 274, ~48.5% of the PV
MT Treasurer (R) - 264, ~48.0% of the PV

Closest states:

FL

Pieman 48.7%
MT Treasurer 48.6%

CO

MT Treasurer 48.4%
Pieman 48.2%

NM

MT Treasurer 48.7%
Pieman 47.8%

VA

MT Treasurer 48.8%
Pieman 47.5%

AK

Pieman 46.8%
MT Treasurer 45.9%

NH might go I>60% because of my comments/feelings about that state (which would presumably surface after a Pieman oppo research leak).

Tried to make this as interesting as possible, although I do think it would be a fairly close race. There’s a lot of overlap in our positions, but me being more socially conservative (esp. on abortion) and placing much greater 'libertarian' emphasis on less government interference/control (e.g. during COVID) would shake up coalitions a little. Pieman would pick up a lot of endorsements from Democrats/unions, but I’d make gains with non-white voters.

Think of this as Glenn Youngkin/Rand Paul hybrid vs. JD Vance/Tucker Carlson hybrid.
